Whether you consider yourself tech-savvy or tech-phobic, there’s no denying that tech can make most things easier, and weddings are no different. With the help of these smart apps you can take the stress out of wedding planning.
BrideBook
This handy app has everything you need to plan a wedding in the one place and is a Wedding Journal fave. You can search wedding suppliers by category, location or name, find ideas and inspiration and organise your budget. When you sign up, you fill out a survey on topics like how far along you are in the planning process, when and where you want to get married and how many guests you want so the app can be tailored specifically to you. You can also import contacts from your phone to make creating a guest list even easier and in one tap the app will create a checklist of everything you need to do between now and your big day.
Table Plan
Arguably the most stressful part of wedding planning, the mammoth task of organising your table plan can be a bit of head melt. But not with this app. All you need to do is input all your guests’ names and then you can drag and drop them back and forth between different tables until you get the right combination. It beats the old-fashioned, paper-based way of doing it hands down.
Appy Couple
Who’s RSVP’d and who hasn’t? Did Aunt Sue and Uncle Mark say they would miss it or that they wouldn’t miss it for the world? When it comes to your guests, it’s not always easy to keep track of who’s attending. That’s where this app comes in. The cleverly named Appy Couple not only helps you keep on top of your guestlist, but it also allows you to design and send digital invites and receive RSVPs through the app. Who needs snail mail, eh?
myPantone
This one isn’t a wedding planning app per se, but it can come in mighty handy when it comes to colour coordination. Spotted a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and want to know the exact hue? Need to know the shade of that stunning bridesmaid dress you saw while browsing? Easy. Snap a pic, upload it to the app, and it’ll identify the exact shade for you. Super handy.
Lady Marry
Consider yourself a disorganised bride? Then this wedding planning app is for you. It keeps you up to date with what you need to do when. All you need to do is put in the date of your wedding and it’ll provide you with an itemised list of what you need to do and a timeline of when you need to do it. It can help you find local vendors too.
PLUS!
We may be biased but we also reckon one of the handiest tools of all is our directory. It has all the best suppliers and vendors – from venues and transportation to makeup artists and florists – all in the one spot. You can search for what you need in your location, browse photos of the supplier’s previous work, get a feel for what they do and find their contact details. Ready to browse the directory?
